i've been trying read , understand topic of high altitude ballooning, boy confusing. i'm trying coach kids science fair project.  we need: the balloon, parachute, payload container, 'chute , rigging (check, understand this) here's i'm confused , hope folks willing out. i need build aprs station. there's called tracuino (sp?) that's build onto arduino, or in addition it?  i want track following info during flight (3-4 hours): temperature altitude (if it's not culled air pressure) air pressure location i guess that's it. i'm looking build shopping list. need buy thing off ground? am making sense? thanks help. a important thing decide how weigh. determine size of balloon , how helium need buy. there several web sites estimate everything. you can buy or build inexpensive aprs trackers . need amateur radio operators license , call sign operate 1 legally. if there aprs repeater close enough balloon path , connect...

moin leute, ich habe eine fernbedienung gebastelt die ein keypad von robodyn verwendet. Über einen analogport lese ich die eingangsspannung aus und gebe dann die nummer der gedrückten taste ein 433 funkmodul weiter. diese schaltung hat mit einem normalen arduino wunderbar funktioniert, jetzt aber mit dem attiny85 nicht. es ist alles richtig verlötet. ich konnte einmal die daten empfangen, als ich gemessen habe, aus dem keypad beim tiny ankommt (messgerät). das bekomme ich aber nicht reproduziert - war wohl ein zufall. mit dem messgerät sehe ich auch, dass bei knopfdruck spannung auf dem data-pin des funksenders liegt. passt auch. mein arduino mit funkempfänger zeigt allerdings nichts an. das keypad gibt je nach gedrückter taste eine unterschiedliche spannung aus. schaltregler ist verbaut, damit 9v klappen. im anhang meine unglaublich gut gezeichnete schaltung. hier der code: code: [select] #include <rcswitch.h> rcswitch myswitch = rcswitch(); int analogpin = a1; int va...
